VA - DJ-Kicks: Marcel Dettmann (2016)

Most of us don't know what our favourite DJs listen to in their spare time. We get hints here and there (like when Ricardo Villalobos and Objekt told us that they don't listen to very much dance music at home), but what top-tier selectors listen to outside the club isn't usually clear. DJ-Kicks has been giving us insight into that world since the '90s. Known for coaxing house and techno DJs away from the club-centric sounds that other well-known series—fabric, Balance, Global Underground—specialise in, DJ-Kicks has delivered much-loved installments by artists like DJ Koze, James Holden and John Talabot, who all offered up selections far from what you'd hear them deliver to a busy dance floor. Marcel Dettmann's DJ-Kicks isn't as adventurous as it could have been (RA's Will Lynch found out his tastes run from Nitzer Ebb and Ben Frost to Robert Hood and Answer Code Request), but we still get a look at his softer side.
